Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional ceiling lamps and dome lamps are manufactured as integral units, making them costly to produce and inconvenient to assemble and disassemble, leading to significant losses when individual components are damaged.

Innovation Solution

An LED module design featuring a module board with a coaxial boss and detachable screws that connect to the lamp fixture, allowing for easy installation and replacement of damaged components without requiring the entire unit to be replaced.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the ceiling lamp or dome lamp is manufactured integrally, then the structure is simple and reliable, but the cost increases and disassembly and assembly are not convenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoiddisassembly and assembly convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the integral lamp structure into separate modules: a lamp fixture and a replaceable LED module. The LED module includes a module board with LED lamp beads, a boss for central rod connection, and multiple screws for attachment to the lamp fixture. This segmentation allows the LED module to be independently manufactured and replaced without affecting the lamp fixture, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through modular production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the ceiling lamp or dome lamp is manufactured integrally, then the structure is stable, but the loss increases when damaged

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidreplacement loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the lamp into a durable lamp fixture and a replaceable LED module. When the LED module is damaged, only the module needs replacement rather than the entire lamp, significantly reducing material loss and waste. The modular design maintains structural stability through the boss and screw connection mechanism that securely attaches the module to the fixture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables selective replacement of the LED module while recovering and reusing the lamp fixture. The screw connection mechanism allows for easy detachment of the damaged module, and the fixture can be retained and reused, thereby reducing the loss of valuable materials and minimizing waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Ease of operation

If the LED module uses detachable screws connected to drip holes, then the assembly convenience improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly convenienceVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the connection mechanism into distinct components: screws with heads that fit into drip holes, a boss for central rod attachment, and a module board for LED mounting. This segmentation enables easy assembly by simply attaching the module board to the lamp fixture using the screws, improving assembly convenience. The complexity is managed through standardized connection interfaces that simplify the overall structure despite the multiple components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An LED module includes a module board. A boss coaxial with a central axis of the module board is provided on one side surface of the module board, and the boss is provided, in a direction of the central axis of the module board, with a through hole through which a central rod of an LED lamp fixture passes, a side wall of the boss is provided with a fastener hole to allow a fastener to be inserted into the fastener hole to abut against an outer wall of the central rod of the LED lamp fixture; and multiple screws are fixedly mounted on the other side surface of the module board and configured to be detachably connected to drip holes in a surface of the LED lamp fixture respectively. An LED lamp including the LED module is provided, which has a reduced cost.
